CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 288,329, dated November 13, 1883.

Application filed December 24, 1 880. (No 1110661.)

To .aZZ whom it may concern: Be it known that I, HENRY S. I-IAcK, of Taunton, in the county of Bristoland State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Calendar, of which the followingis afull, clear, concise,and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- I 1 Figure 1 is arperspective view of one form of calendar embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view, partly in section and Fig. 3, a cross-section. of the calendar shown in Fig. 1.

.Figswi and 5 are modifications.

In the drawings, A is the backing, on the surface of which the bearings B B, the calendar-strip O, the spindle b, on which the strip 0 is wound, and the receiver D, for inclosing the strip and keeping its end close totheback ing, are all mounted.

My invention consists in a calendar composed of a printed strip wound on a spindle placed within a receiver, and mounted on the surface of a suitable backing, as shown in the drawings. I

Along strip. of paper, when closely wound on a spindle, willunwind by the spring or uncoiling of the strip to an unsightly eXtent.

This has been prevented by attaching a weight to the end of the paper strip. This method is objectionable, since the weight has to be removed and, reattached when the "calendar- Strip iscut off. l

WVhen the roll is in a receiver, as in the avweight is used; but. my receiver not only the roll always of the same apparentsize. The

receiver also acts by its part at to take the curl 5 out of the paperstrip C, and cause it to lie close against the backing.

I am aware of Patent No. 199,764., J anuary' 29, 187 8,to WV. WV. WVatson; but the calendar therein described lacks the receiver D, or any equivalent forit, and the calendarstrip must be revolved and rolled up to an inconvenient extent during a large part of the year, or else i the end weight must be changed at intervals when a past date is cut off, and in this case elements of my calendar, besides being a wholly different article from my calendar. I therefore disclaim all that is shown in these patents.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters. Patent, is I The improved calendarabove described,

. consisting of the bearings B B, the rolled calendar-strip 0, its spindle b, and receiver D, all mounted upon the surface of the backing A, and the bearings, strip,spindle, receiver, 80
